Just like in real life, festivals and celebrations are also an important part of Bollywood movies. With the grand festive season just around the corner, it would be unfair not to talk about this mix. Bollywood films are largely plotted around the underlying theme of the victory of good over evil, which marks Dussehra. Hence, Bollywood filmmakers have often incorporated the festival into their story and used it as an important backdrop. As we celebrate Dussehra today, we take a look at some of the major films that have used Dussehra celebrations-
